6:00 am
be a good thing except when you're at the heart attack grill and your patrons are having heart attacks. dr. sanjay gupta looks at this restaurant that says their food is worth dying for. >> it got me to thinking, how much is too much? the owner of that restaurant, critics are saying, should accept some of the blame. take a look and you decide. ♪ give me that heart attack burger with some friy ies yeah ♪ >> dresses up as a doctor and says the food in his restaurant is, quote, worth dying for. john almond was the volunteer spokesman at the heart attack grill in las vegas. he ate there every day. he just died of a massive heart attack right outside the restaurant. the last spokesman, blair river, died, too. he weighed 57 0 pounds.
6:01 am
in 212, two customers suffered heart attacks right in the restaurant. no less than 60 days apart. >> of course we've had heart attacks here. i wouldn't have it any other way. >> at heart attack grill, the unhealthier, the better. check out the menu. flat liner fries. butter fat shake, bypass burgering. >> it just warms my heart to see children come into the heart attack grill. >> this 8-year-old attempts to eat a burger dubbed the quadruple bypass with nearly 10,000 calories. >> absolutely slathered in ladder. >> they celebrate extreme obesity. if you weigh over 350 pounds, your food is free. you think basso might feel bad about some of this. but he doesn't. not one bit. >> people wonder how i slope at night. like a baby. >> reporter: you should know that i did talk to the owner and the way that he explains it, he's trying to make this
6:02 am
perverse point to grab people's attention and make them understands just how unhealthy this is. frankly, it seemed kind of muttled to me, more about getting free publicity, frankly. eating fast food once in a while isn't going to kill you but for calories, fat and sugar it's one of the worst things out there. i'm sure they're going to find another spokesman but it looks like a pretty high-risk job. susan, back to you. good morning to you. great to see you. i'm susan hendricks in for randi kaye and victor blackwell today. it's 9:00 am on the eastern coast, 6:00 am out west. >> we begin with the investigation of what went wrong on that carnival cruise ship. passengers are finally waking up at home this morning after spending days adrift at sea with no working toilets, pitch black cabins, and hallways awash in sewage. susan candiotti joins me now
6:03 am
from mobile, alabama. the investigation began even before the ship docked late thursday and could take a while to complete. >> reporter: that's right. while the ship was still out at sea, the coast guard already was look at schematics of the ship, to take a look at it, to be prepared for when it got into shore. now that it is in a boat yard, the investigation already has begun. they're take a look, for example, at the engine to make sure that they try to figure out whether that was working properly. get to the source of the fire. joining us now, susan, is captain don rose, the head of the sector here for the u.s. coast guard. what can you tell us about what might be happening on the ship this day? >> susan, the ship is getting -- going into the engine room, starting to start figuring out what the damage is, assess it. they'll start repairing it. our coast guard inspectors will be involved before the ship gets to leave to make sure it's safe to depart. and the investigation teams will be working with the crew and
6:04 am
with the carnival corporation to take a look at the ship and the type of actions the ship took, how the emergency systems fup s functioned and what could be done better. >> reporter: what do you know about what will happen with the crew? a lot of the crew has been staying at local hotels here. of course, they're getting their full pay, according to carnival cruise line. what happens to them next, as far as you know? >> working with our local custom agents partners here, there are about 700 hotel staff on the ship that spent the night in mobile hotels. the intention was to try to get them back aboard the ship here soon, to get basic services restored and then to start processing those persons for departure to various other ships or back home. >> thank you very much for joining us, captain rose. they're saying that this investigation, susan, could take up to a year to complete. also working on it is the national transportation safety board. the final report will come out of the bahamas because this ship
6:05 am
is flagged there. back to you. >> susan candiotti, live in alabama. appreciate it. thanks. new this morning, we can now tell you how cop killer christopher dorn er died. initial autopsy reports say he died from a single gun shot wound to the head that was likely self inflicted after tuesday's standoff with police. nick valencia was in l.a. as the saga unfolded. he joins me now. we now find out that he was yards away from police headquarters. right under their nose. >> they had to be embarrassed. i'm sure i'm not the only reporter or person that wants to know how they could have missed chris dorner, he was less than 100 yard as way from the command center. if you consider the resources that they used, 125 officers throughout southern california to canvas this area, there are even reports this morning that officers knocked on the door and dorner may have been inside that
6:06 am
home for days. how expensive, really, was their search of these cabins that they thought were abandoned? and also it seemed to be a very calculated move. he said his command centers are target-rich environments. also i went to this cabin where he was and walked the grounds. the cabin leads right back into the woods. it siems to be a calculated move. in his manifesto, he talks about this. he seemed to keep true to his word. >> you were there. how did the locals feel? they, of course, must have felt on edge like the police did. >> you would think so. i talked to a handful of residents. some were completely oblivious that this manhunt and media was going on around them. i talked to one of the cooks in a kitchen. he said i was concerned once a realized dorner was a mile away from here. he was a renegade cop with a vengeance and vendetta.
6:07 am
he was targeting police officers but there were citizens as well who were concerned they might have been caught up in the cross fire. it was an unnerving moment for everybody. >> i know you were there, reporting on this. great job. >> thank you. cnn takes a look at the manhunt inside a special event "killer cop: inside the hunt for christopher dorner." jesse jackson jr. and his plea deal, the former congressman is admitting misusing campaign contributions for his personal use n all prosecutors say he took as much as $750,000 out of his war chest. here are some of the items on that list. $43,000 rolex, more than $5,000 in furs bought in beverly hills, $4,000 michael jackson hats and more than $10,000 in martin luther king memorabilia. facebook is saying it's the latest to become the victim of a
6:08 am
giant hack attack. some of its computers were infected by malware in january but no user information was compromised. hackers have gone after twitter, the new york sometimes and "the wall street journal," too. to space now and the 2012 da-14 asteroid is long gone by now. this is what it looked like, though, through a high-powered telescope. it cast relatively close to the earth yesterday afternoon. when i say close i mean around 17,000 miles away. that is closer than some of the tv and weather satellites up in space. there were lots of reasons to look up in the sky this week, asteroid being one of them. lightning strikes the vatican. those came just after pope benedict announced his resignation. coincidence? i don't know. then the meteor in russia. it came in a flash and a big bang. as mary snow reports maybe we shouldn't have been all that surprised. >> reporter: it came out of nowhere, bright streak in the sky long enough for people to
6:09 am
capture it on camera as it lurched toward earth and exploded. definite boom followed. the sonic boom shattered glass. at least 1,000 people in the bullseye of the falling meteor were injured. it's a bombing, said this man. people didn't know what to make of it. meteorites are reported to have scattered across three regions of russia and there's one report of a chunk smashing a hole in a lake. it's not all that rare to have meteors falling out of the sky, scientists say. what's not common is when they hit largely populated areas. >> small bodies like that hit the earth regularly. every year there's several, mostly over oceans. had it happened over the pacific ocean somewhere, maybe a ship might have seen it. >> reporter: the curator of meteorites at the national
6:10 am
museum. it struck the same day the asteroid had a loes encounter with the earth is not related and only a cosmic coincidence. while the asteroid was closely tracked, he says the meteor in russia was too small to be detected and has left him a bit unnerved. >> yes, we can predict things. we know the laws of gravity, the masses of planets and so forth. we can predict what's going to happen down the road. the interplay of all these celestial bodies together and the ones we don't know about make it kind of scary in a way. >> reporter: the last time something of this size occurred that we know about was more than 100 years ago. it also happened in russia. back in 1908 an asteroid exploded over remote area of sigh beer siberia, leveling roughly 80,000 trees. susan? >> mary, appreciate that report. thank you. after hearing about that
6:11 am
blast over russia, imagine what people were thinking in california when they saw this last night. a fireball going across the sky. area astronomers say they think it was a meteor and they also say they don't think it has any connection to the asteroid, just another coincidence. he once was the darling of couture. can john galliano remake his image? copd makes it hard to breathe, but with advair, i'm breathing better. so now i can be in the scene. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator working together to help improve your lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms
